Welcome to Fresh's Workshop.

 Welcome to Fresh's Workshop.

Have you ever seen a picture or an item that sparked your interest? And you said, 'I CAN BUILD THAT."

Me too. I say it all the time. I love to build things, and I am at my best when I am standing in front of my table saw, making "Man Glitter"

So come along with us, as we not only build stuff, but show you how you can be creative and add to your Home Decore.

Let's start with some background.

I started out as a child. 

Then I watched my dad build all kind of things.

A motorized Lawn Roller.

A tractor.

A beautiful Grandfather Clock.


He even made a spinning wheel that worked!!


As you can see, I come by it naturally. He was a true inspiration to me.

I like to think that I continued in his footsteps. Although I leaned more towards electronics, over the years I have made many nice things.








But my pride & joy is the 125-year-old house that my wife and I restored in the Historic District. We lived there for 25 years until I retired in 2017.


 


So, let's get into the workshop and create! 

We'll start a project next time. See you then.

Here is our next project:  TV TRAY REPAIR

ANOTHER TABLE REPAIR FOR WALLACE

Thanks for joining us today here at Fresh's Workshop. If you are a first-time visitor, WELCOME. If you have been here before, THANKS for coming back. This is the spot where we build and repair all kinds of cool stuff, along with making a ton of saw dust. (Man Glitter.) Last time in the Workshop, we repaired a TV tray for my friend Wallace. TV TRAY REPAIR  (Click on the link to see that episode) That was a year or so ago. (Time passes differently on the internet) And now,  he is back with another table that bit the big one. It needs to be "Freshy-fied." Before we begin: Be sure to read, understand and follow all of the safety rules that come with your power tools. Knowing how to use your power tools properly will greatly reduce the risk of personal injury. And remember this, there is no greater safety rule than to wear safety glasses. Yes, my hero is a Jewish Carpenter. So, let's get into this table. You can see by the upside-down photos below; the legs broke at the sa

TABLE REBUILD FOR A FRIEND

Image
 A couple of years ago, I was out in the workshop, and a fellow came up and asked me if I did outside work. I asked him what he had in mind, and he told me he had broken his favorite TV tray and wanted to know if I could repair it. He offered to pay me for the repair. I explained something my father told me when I asked him if he would ever sell his creations. He said, "Son, the minute you charge for it, it becomes a job." I never forgot that. I don't need a job. I had one, then I retired. I told Wallace, (by then we had introduced ourselves) that I would be happy to fix his table as a favor only. He agreed and went home to get the table. Here is what he brought me. I knew I would have to trim the broken edges and reglue the top. Not a hard job. But he would have to find a replacement LOGO. Imagine, a GATOR helping a SEMINOLE! The first thing I did was scrap away that crummy LOGO. That was a ton of fun. I took the table completely apart. I then took the broken top and cut

This is the spot where we build and repair all kinds of cool stuff, along with making a ton of saw dust. (Man Glitter.) Last time in the Workshop, we made a Menu Board for the wife's Master Gardener group. MENU BOARD  (Click on the link to see that episode) Before we begin today's project, let's take a moment and talk about shop safety: Be sure to read, understand and follow all of the safety rules that come with your power tools. Knowing how to use your power tools properly will greatly reduce the risk of personal injury. And remember this, there is no greater safety rule than to wear safety glasses. Today we are going to rebuild the wooden handle for the wife's Big Green Egg. She's been cooking on one of these grills for well over 20 years. We used to have it on a roll around stand, but it made me nervous, so
